General description
Paraplast Plus® is a tissue embedding medium comprising highly purified paraffin and polyisobutylene with approximately 0.8% DMSO added to improve infiltration, sectioning, and penetration into tissues. It is recommended for tissues that are difficult to process with regular Paraplast®. Paraplast Plus® cuts continuous ribbons at 2μm thickness or short ribbons at 1μm thickness.
Application
- Paraplast Plus® has been used in the examination of vertebral specimens of Malacoraja senta.
- It has also been used in the identification and expression analysis of PIN genes in rice.
- It has been used in the study of glucose transport mechanisms in uterine tissues during pregnancy.
- It has been used to embed Bouin′s fixed carp tissues, rat ventral prostatic fragments, and common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) nodules.
